That rectanglemajig looks comfy.

Your thoughts immediately turn to hiding under your desk (whose haven't?) and you proceed to spend a few minutes trying to wedge yourself into the small space, only to eventually settle on the BED OF QUESTIONABLE ORIGIN instead.

You figure it will be as good a place as any, rapidly flashing lights or otherwise.

Cervus: go to sleep

[Fishman]

Cervus: Go to sleep.



You wake up.

Someone is trying to reach you.

[Mibbs]

Cervus: Respond

[finepoint]

Cervus: stand up

or alternatively

Cervus: blink

[Julia]

>Cervus: fluff pillows

[vengeanceCreed]

>Cervus: You do NOT have time for this! FLIP OUT!!!

[Piconoe]

IS: <Hey, Cervus!!>
IS: <i have a quick question i need to ask.>



IS: <Okay i'm being really patient right now.>

IS: <Even though this is sort of urgent!! Are you around?>




MR: no i am not.
IS: <Then who's this? Oh my gosh. Somebody stole your hive.>
MR: that is pretty much completely impossible and you know that.
IS: <Yeah, i guess hivenapping is definitely not a thing that happens.>
MR: it probably is for mainland losers but not for me.
IS: <Maybe... so are you around or not?>
MR: is that the question you want to ask me or?
IS: <Oh, no, that issue already resolved itself. Thanks for being there when i needed you.>
IS: <Gosh.>
IS: <No now i'm just trying to make conversation so i don't seem super rude.>
MR: i would probably shrug it off anyway.
IS: <Well it was more of a deal to me than to you i guess.>
MR: things like this usually are.
IS: <i guess i was just exaggerating a bit. Don't worry about it!>
IS: <it would be kind of embarrassing to mention anyway.>
MR: and that would make it the same as everything else you end up mentioning.
IS: <No way!>
MR: out with it.
IS: <Oh enough about me. What's up with Cervus lately?>
IS: <What wacky and crazy adventures has he been getting in?>
MR: a whole lot of sleeping, actually.
MR: i guess i will probably tell you more about that business later.
IS: <Sleeping and secretive business. i see how it is.>
MR: you could say i have been trying a few new sleep patterns.
IS: <Sleeping all day and doing nothing??>
MR: that is hard work and you know it.
MR: i know you cannot do it.
IS: <Yes because i'm too busy training.>
IS: <And saving the city from dastardly criminals.>
MR: are you sure you are not simply dreaming up the last part?
IS: <i'm not the one sleeping so yes!>
MR: you should be.
MR: you have a long night ahead of you.
IS: <i'm not even tired though.>
IS: <i have the energy of a...very energetic troll!>
IS: <Yeah.>
MR: it is a wonder you manage to burn all that sitting alone in your room every night.
IS: <Sometimes my lusus comes in my block!!>
IS: <Besides it's not like i'm alone when i have all these friends to talk to.>
IS: <So many friendly friends.>
MR: all me of them.
IS: <Oh you know better than that.>
MR: oh i know all right.
IS: <Dang right.>

MR: yes, about that indeed.
MR: when i said i would likely never see my lusus again i did not mean i wanted to be blinded before it happens.
UC: !I'm sorrY
UC: .I hadn't realized that was a shedding upstairS
UC: .the sprite was çonveniently there and the head fell iN
MR: oh, yeah the body is definitely long gone.
MR: i guess this looks cooler but it is sort of a haunting reminder of bad times.

MR: whatever, you had little to do with it.
MR: do not worry about it.
UC: :(
UC: .um, in any çase, it looks like the timer is almost uP
UC: .I'm a little worried about what it meanS
MR: oh, that should not be a problem.
MR: to put it bluntly it is how long i have before i die horribly.
MR: try not to be alarmed.

[MostlyHarmless]

>Salcie: Be alarmed.

[Mibbs]

UC: .uH
UC: ?whaT
MR: about that.
MR: most of the spoilers i saw indicate meteor fall will be the cause.
MR: or would, rather.
MR: said spoilers also pointed to my survival.
UC: ?how is that going to happeN
UC: ?why meteorS
MR: a shower seems like a sufficient means to wipe out much of the population.
MR: if not that the subsequent climate changes will likely contribute to the rest.
UC: ???
MR: did i mention it was planet-wide? that is probably important.
UC: ...what in the worlD
UC: :(
UC: .um, well now I'm sçareD
MR: hey everyone else has plenty of time, so keep your wits about you.
MR: in fact it looks like i have . . .
MR: eighteen minutes.

MR: you do not have anything to worry about on your end.
MR: the meteors likely will not be anywhere near you for a few hours.
UC: ...even so, that's still really sçarY
UC: ?just like thaT ?we'll all die ouT
MR: we all have to eventually, do we not?
UC: :(
MR: i expect you will manage to get through this.
UC: ?you said you were going to survive, how will that happeN
